The old lady and Lu Tingchen who came after hearing the news entered the room and heard Lu Hetian sighing with regret.
"Why, what is the emperor's decree?" asked the old lady.
Lu Hetian handed over the imperial edict, "Your Majesty ordered me to lead troops to the border to conquer Danjue in three days."
The old lady was a little surprised. She took the imperial edict, read it quickly, and handed it to Lu Tingchen.
She sat down on the chair and said with confusion: "Why does the emperor suddenly want to conquer Danjue? There was no news about it before."
Lu Hetian said: "The emperor has long wanted to conquer Danjue, but before, he was worried that the eldest princess was still in Danjue, so he hesitated to make a decision. But now, Danjue's regime has changed and is controlled by Wanyan Jin, who is leading the battle. In my hands, things are different. Moreover, recently, Danjue has frequently disturbed the border and caused trouble. The people on our border have no peace. In recent days, the courtiers have been arguing about this matter, but the emperor has yet to respond. To express his position, I thought that after the emperor’s wedding... "
He didn't say any more, but both Old Taijun and Lu Tingchen understood.
In the past, the emperor was very decisive, but now that he has married Weiwei, the emperor has not expressed his position on Dan Jue. Some people in the government and the public are secretly talking that after the wedding, the emperor has become more affectionate and his ambitions have been wasted. .
But now it seems that the emperor has not changed. He was hesitant to make a decision before, just because of his considerations.
Lu Tingchen looked at Lu Hetian, his eyes ignited with fighting spirit, and he said happily: "This time I want to fight against Danjue, I would like to request an order to go with my father."
Hearing this, Lu Hetian frowned and disagreed, "If you and I are not in the imperial capital, what will Weiwei and your grandmother do? What's more, your sister has just entered the palace, and it is always inappropriate if no one takes care of her. You are not allowed to go, leave it for me. Down."
Lu Tingchen was a little reluctant, but Weiwei was alone in the palace. It would really be inappropriate if he and his father were not in the imperial capital. And his grandmother was old and needed someone to take care of her.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his longing for the battlefield and said nothing more.
A wise son is better than his father!
How could Lu Hetian not understand his thoughts? When he was young, he was the same as him, thinking of going to the battlefield, throwing his head and blood, and defending the country.
But now, with so many worries, his determination to go to the battlefield is no longer so pure.
Especially since Lihua was back at this time, he had not yet asked for her forgiveness.
But at this time, he was going to the border again. When he came back, he didn't know how long it would take. By then, Lihua would definitely be gone, and he could not find her like he had been for more than ten years.
To be honest, he was really unwilling to go to the battlefield like this.
However, it is difficult to disobey the king's orders, and as a minister, he should share the king's worries and fend off enemies from outside.
"You are still young now, and you will have many opportunities in the future." Lu Hetian said to his son.
Lu Tingchen nodded, still feeling regretful in his heart.
He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is familiar with military books. But no matter how high his martial arts skills are or how familiar he is with memorizing military books, what's the use? He hasn't really been on the battlefield yet.
The old lady saw the expressions of both father and son.
How could he not know what his son and grandson were thinking
She thought for a moment and looked at the father and son with her wise eyes, "I know what you are worrying about. Although I am old, I am not old enough to need your care. And Weiwei, I believe, she also has The ability to stand alone does not require you to consider everything for her. You all have your own ambitions, and you should not hold back just because you worry about us."
